Red Dragon Flagmakers Details
We are a micro manufacturing social mission business in Swansea and Somerset with a family business ethos with what we believe to be a dynamic 'can-do' attitude. We are a Limited company and our profits are invested back into our local communities through up-skilling in sewing skills and produce among the best quality traditional sewn flags, printed flags, banner and bunting available on the World market - all 100% made IN HOUSE in our WORKSHOPS in Swansea and Somerset - no (cheap) 'economy' imported products here. Red Dragon Flagmakers was borne out of a family company manufacturing traditional sewn flags for over 45 years and a result of the merger of several business into a social enterprise under the Limited company name, Red Dragon Flagmakers Ltd. Our elected Chairman Robin Ashburner founded the original business in 1969 when he made the flag for the investiture of Prince Charles at Caernarfon Castle. This makes us one of the most established and experienced flag makers in the UK. Under our registered trademark and trading name, Red Dragon Flagmakers, Robin is past President of the Flag Institute and one of the few flag makers in the World to have received the recognised international award for services to the flag industry (FIAV). He is also a Fellow of the Federation. We are the ONLY flag maker incorporated and run as a social mission company - all profits go back into the personal and professional development of the staff who are all trained in house. Sales enable profits which support our recruitment of additional people to train for sustainable employment with the outcome of a positive contribution to local, regional and UK economy.
